Using collagen extract from chicken comb for hair loss
Question
I am taking a natural remedy for hair loss and it contains collagen extract from chicken comb (red skin on top of chicken head). However the extract is from non-halaal certified sources. Is it okay to consume this remedy medication?
Answer
Precaution requires that you abstain from this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
